Don't shed any further tears, ol chums. It's been months of nothing, dear listeners, but we're finally back for another episode of....Almost Got 'Im! Hell, you can leave the crying to Brandon and Jimmy, as they both get choked up multiple times talking about the legacy of Adam West and the colossal meta narrative of "Beware The Gray Ghost," one of the best episodes of BTAS.

We also recorded some special supplemental material (with a special guest) for this episode that should premiere next week. Stay Tooned.

The Internet's favorite TV Guidance Counselor (Ken Reid) and I track down another one of FOX's earliest efforts and kick it right in the Beans.

In the past, we've covered failed pilots of TV shows. But what if the show in question  actually got picked up by the network, produced Several episodes AND was ready to broadcast...only for the plug to be pulled at the last possible second? 2002's "The Grubbs" was one of those shows, and we're going to try to figure out why the axe fell prematurely.

How can a show with a Broadway legend, Nick Offerman's (then) future wife AND Friggin' BATMAN still manage to fail? It probably didn't help that another network produced it, but then pawned it off on a network that was still trying to find itself at the time.

After you're done listening to this show, listen to our new friends at Weird Darkness; and if YOU are a Podcast and want to do a Promo swap, give us a buzz on our business/complaint line; TelehellPodcast@gmail.com (Space is Limited)

For this month's prologue, We feel that we've been on for a long enough time that we can go through our own archives to present to you a ruidmentary history of what we've mentioned about the FOX Network so far...partly because we won't be doing anything "Historical" in our next two shows, we just want to get it out of the way.

Also, listen to Weird Darkness wherever you stream podcasts, and if YOU Have a Podcast and you want to do a Promo Swap, contact us at TelehellPodcast@gmail.com (Space is Limited)

Today marks 3 years since we began this stupid little journey of ours through the worst that TV has ever offered. To mark the occasion, we're going to do a series of Summer Specials this month, starting with the Telehell Premiere of an Episode of "The Marvelists" that I made for them (In other words, it's an episode of THEIR show, I just "Guest Directed"); where the Three of us take a look at David Hasselhoff ham it up for the sake of a comic book TV movie.

Our thanks once again to Peter Melnick & Eddie Wilson for letting us infiltrate their world.
